A lot of christians may write Japan off as a godless nation since they rejected christianity, because they already have two core religions: Shinto and Buddhism (which was partially borrowed from India)
Japan is not perfect by any means; They have a lower age of consent (14), A demanding collectivist business culture to the point of business men literally work themselves to death, and a very dense declining population (Nowhere near as dense as China, but denser than big cities in the US.)
Japan also has a long history with the occult and stuff; Search the word "Onmyoji" for further information.
Seasoned weeaboos like me are familiar with the concept of "yokai" (Japan's umbrella term for supernatural beings)
and the folklore behind them. Some are helpful to humanity, some are not. Japanese Shinto also has a much looser definition of what a "god" is, hence they are polytheistic like Ancient Greece. To the Japanese, Christianity is as exotic to them as their "yokai" are to us Americans; they see angels, demons and monsters as "yokai" from the outside world.
However, Shintoism has it's own equivalents of heaven and hell, but also belief in reincarnation.
Lower age of consent is a good thing, it prevents a lot of abusive statutory rape charges and takes the pretense and false morality out of sex. Notice Japanese girls aren't out there acting like cash me outside girl or teen mom. Also Japanese feminism is much more agreeable than ours. I think having control of one's body and not being treated like a child leads to mature decisions.
As for Christianity, organized Christian religion will never take off in Japan, but the idea of Christianity itself is becoming more widespread. Lots of the fundamental ideals in Japan line up with Christianity. Watching anime like Fullmetal Alchemist, My Hero, and re:zero through the lens of Scripture is almost like when you finally make sense of the q drops..way too big to be coincidence.
I have hope for Japan. Watched the first episode of Tropical Pretty Cure with my wife, she got misty eyed and I was just amiling from how wholesome it was.
Membership in organized Christianity is certainly less than 1% of the Japanese population. Japanese culture has always had a looser structure to religions in general and the Tokugawa shogunate period with the whole "Kakure Kirishtan" subculture which hid Christian symbolism beneath Buddhist and Shinto concepts has made it all the more likely that organized forms of Christianity would be generally rare. They don't want a repeat of what happened to them after the Shogun took control where they were forced to perform a fumie on icons of Christian faith.

Yeh, Dylan put all his former PDFs and JPGs behind a paywall so his popularity plummeted. He did great work, but got greedy and folks weren't having it.
Japan is based AF,

I totally agree with you man,

Wait, so the original map was dropped by Q?
I don't think it was; I don't remember seeing it in a Q drop but I'm not about to go back to check.
I'm fairly sure it was put together by others to help them understand. It looks like an unreadable mess to me; but others find it useful.

I lost track of him. Last I had seen he was still offering free pdf downloads or the option to purchase a poster sized print. Bummer.
